Southwest-Style Salisbury Steaks Reviews

Dr. James Henry Salisbury might have been the first of the protein-diet doctors, proclaiming in 1888 that humankind's maladies were caused by too much starchy food. His solution? Chopped lean meat, or hamburger steak. To hide the "liver-y" taste of hamburger, he recommended adding horseradish, mustard or Worcestershire sauce. By the 1900s, Salisbury steak was a staple menu item, often served with mushroom gravy or smothered in onions. This version, inspired by today’s southwestern cooking, has terrific flavor.

My boyfried and I loved this recipe. We live in an apartment and we dont have an outdoor grill, so I did these on my George Foreman grill and they came out great. The pickled onions, avacado, and salsa added to the flavor and made them perfect.

After reading the reviews, I tried to spice this recipe up. I added chili sauce to the recipe and it helped a lot. Also, instead of canned green chiles, I roasted 2 pasilla chiles on a stovetop grill, and added them. I also had a red pepper and threw it in. It was good--certainly not the best. Probably could make it into a meatloaf with the addition of some bread crumbs.
